Background: Climate change is an urgent global threat, with women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) disproportionately facing adverse health outcomes. Gendered roles, combined socioeconomic, cultural, environmental factors, exacerbate women’s vulnerabilities, increasing the burden of mental issues, water insecurity, sanitation challenges, caregiving responsibilities. Objectives: This review seeks to systematically examine intersection between climate gendered a particular focus on women. It explores how intensifies gender-specific risks identifies pathways for integrating gender-responsive policies mitigate both short- long-term impacts. Design: Following Arksey O’Malley’s methodological framework, this systematic mapped key concepts evidence from studies conducted January 2011 2024. The focuses identifying multifaceted impacts women, particularly LMICs marginalized communities. Data Sources Methods: A search was Web Science Scopus databases using terms Medical Subject Headings related change, health, gender inequality, security, sanitation, burdens. Studies were screened selected based relevance predefined criteria, data extracted study design, findings, limitations. Results: From 2163 citations screened, 61 included final analysis. highlights that affects exacerbating pre-existing inequalities. Specific include heightened maternal newborn outcomes, increased intensified burden. Women are vulnerable due reduced access resources, healthcare, decision-making platforms, further limiting their adaptive capacities. Conclusion: findings underscore critical need address immediate broader socioeconomic determinants affecting Effective adaptation strategies must integrate perspectives, ensuring specific vulnerabilities accounted policy frameworks. advocates empowerment through resources decision-making, thus enhancing resilience capacity face change.

Abstract The severe heat that threatens racialized communities is a product of overlapping disasters: climate change, which causing more waves, and long histories social environmental degradations overwhelm the sociocultural capacities these to engage in thermal regulation. These are intensified by—but cannot be reduced to—the history greenhouse gas emissions. This chapter reviews literature regarding impacts on communities. primary geographic focus Americas. dominant frame for studying effects extreme ahistorical undersocialized. Building critical justice studies, this review integrates relevant studies into addressing overwhelming as sociophysiological process embedded within systems power.

Climate change is a growing threat to population health, with dangerous combinations of heat and humidity increasing in frequency, particularly South Asia. Evidence suggests that high temperatures stress influence breastfeeding behaviour may lead suboptimal infant young child nutrition. Few studies have quantified the relationship between ambient breastfeeding. Here we evaluate associations wet-bulb temperature daily patterns rural community Bangladesh. We used 23 months time-diary data from 68 maternal-child dyads regional test hypothesis increased negatively outcomes among Shodagor fisher-traders. found higher predicted reduced time allocation, fishers, drove shifts towards night-time decreased mid/late morning feeding. Maternal occupation interaction age strongly influenced diurnal patterns. These results highlight an important role maternal work on infants' vulnerability environmental stress. Dyads' ability behaviourally compensate for extreme be constrained by extended heatwaves, humidity, economic circumstances, suggesting climate will likely exacerbate heat-related risks global health going forward.
